We had a quiet day staying on the boat until mid afternoon when we went to GYC and did some internet banking and other internet stuff. We enjoyed some drinks with the regulars at the club before heading back to CS'ta Time for dinner.
Full moon from CS'ta Time with some lights of St. George . . .
We met with Dave, a cruiser staying at GYC marina, and the three of us walked to The Merry Bakery for burgers. It is a well attended lunch supported by many cruisers so we had a chance to catch up on things with many of them.
We parted ways with Dave after lunch only to met up with him again at Port Louis Marina at 1830. A cruiser had organized transportation to the town of Gouyave for their weekly Fish Friday. There were 11 of us in total who attended. It was about a 45 minute ride up the west coast of Grenada or about 14 miles. That gives you an idea of the roads, twisting and turning, rough pavement, etc.! Two streets, forming an "L" are closed and vendors set up their tents in these streets. Of course fish is for dinner including lobster, shrimp, jacks, fish pockets, lambie (conch) as well as local veggies. It was well attended by the university students as well as they have just finished mid terms and were out celebrating. Entertainment was supplied by a steel drum band as well as more "native" drummers with a guy dancing on tall stilts. (After clicking on the arrow, I had to click on the icon for "full screen" to see the videos, hopefully they will download properly.) We enjoyed ourselves until almost 2300 when the bus departed for St. George. We arrived back at the boat at 0015, way past our bedtime!

I am sure I have blogged about the rare phenomenon of Caribbean icebergs. Well, they happened again this morning! The icebergs appear when cruisers decide to defrost their freezers and that was my boat job this morning. LOL. Hopefully the fridge will run more efficiently now.

After lunch we went into GYC to check with the harbourmaster about availability for a slip for CS'ta Time. We have decided to treat ourselves and take the marina starting tomorrow until Nov 16. However we will be in Canada for 18 of those days. We will move the boat on the 16th to True Blue Marina for another week as friends from Canada will be visiting and staying at The True Blue Resort. We are going to be spoiled!
